Moreover, other neurotrophic factors such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor and glia cell line-derived neurotrophic factor also reduced rotenone- or colchicine-induced microtubule depolymerization and death of TH (+) through a MEK-dependent mechanism.

We conclude that the neurotrophic factor PEDF, produced from RPE cells, can improve neuronal survival in models of PD, and plan to test if this effect can be observed using in vivo models of PD following RPE transplantation.
This was shown in (1) rotenone and (2) 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) in vitro models.

These results suggest that disruption of neurotrophic factor signaling by mediators of oxidative stress may contribute to the neuronal damage observed in neurodegenerative diseases and significantly affect the utility of CNTF-like factors as therapeutic agents in preventing nerve cell death.
Also, two other mediators of oxidative stress, nitric oxide and rotenone, inhibited CNTF signaling.
